The awesome website Bookish interviewed me and Megan Sheperd not long ago and the interview is now up! In the interview, I reveal that I read part of THE MADMAN'S DAUGHTER at Megan's house in Asheville and it really freaked me out.
See - THE MADMAN'S DAUGHTER has creepy atmosphere in spades. I wasn't sure at first that I wanted to read it, because it's a sort of retelling of THE ISLAND OF DR MOREAU, and if you know that book then you know it = animal experimentation. Several friends had told me about the deaths of furry little creatures in this one, and since that's usually a deal breaker for me, I was understandably wary.
But -- I read it. And I loved it! (Ok, so I might have skimmed the animal death). Not only is the writing evocative and setting rich, I also great admired how Megan put together the plot to set up so many jaw-dropping reveals and twists.
So excited that there are two more books in the series to look forward to!
Side note: One of the designers who worked on this cover is a friend of mine from high school -- how crazy is that?!
